Buying Tips

First, you’ll need to decide if you’re best suited by a rangefinder, GPS device or GPS watch.

Rangefinders

Laser rangefinders offer precise distances to targets and are accurate within a few yards. When comparing rangefinders, determine the range, accuracy, slope-measuring abilities, magnification, water resistance and battery power you need for your game.

The advantage of rangefinders over GPS systems is their simplicity. With most models, you just point the rangefinder at your target, and it provides the distance. Some models can even detect changes in elevation and other environmental conditions.

Keep in mind, though, that you must have a clear view of the target to use your rangefinder. For instance, you won’t be able to find the distance to the green on a blind hole. And if you’re playing in bright sunlight, rain or fog, the rangefinder may not provide the most accurate reading.

However, if you’re looking for an easy-to-use, dependable device for measuring distance on the course, it’s tough to beat the convenience of a rangefinder.

Handheld GPS Systems

When choosing a handheld GPS system, consider the following features:

Course Availability: Check to see how many courses you will have access to.

Course Imagery: Some of today’s GPS devices are quite detailed, providing information like distance to course hazards. Make sure your device has the features you want.

Display Screen: Look for a high-resolution, color display for the best experience.

Durability: Make sure the GPS you choose is built tough. Look for an impact-resistant model to guard against drops and other mishaps. Go with a waterproof model to ensure you’re covered when the rain clouds roll in. Also, an anti-glare screen can be a lifesaver on bright, sunny days.

Battery Life: As always, make sure to check the device’s battery life and recharging process.

Golf GPS Watches

Golf watches are the latest innovation in course management. They provide the precise distance of the rangefinder and the details of a handheld GPS—and it all fits comfortably on your wrist. The GPS golf watch has all the features of a handheld device, and many track additional stats like steps, calories burned and more.
